On Limiting Distributions of a Random Number of Dependent Random Variables

Ordered Random Variables from Discontinuous Distributions

In the absolutely continuous case, order statistics, record values and several other models of ordered random variables can be viewed as special cases of generalized order statistics, which enables a unified treatment of their theory. This paper deals with discontinuous generalized order statistics, continuing on the recent work of Tran (2006). Specifically, we show that in general neither re...

ON THE LAWS OF LARGE NUMBERS FOR DEPENDENT RANDOM VARIABLES

In this paper, we extend and generalize some recent results on the strong laws of large numbers (SLLN) for pairwise independent random variables [3]. No assumption is made concerning the existence of independence among the random variables (henceforth r.v.’s). Also Chandra’s result on Cesàro uniformly integrable r.v.’s is extended.

Strong Laws for Weighted Sums of Negative Dependent Random Variables

In this paper, we discuss strong laws for weighted sums of pairwise negatively dependent random variables. The results on i.i.d case of Soo Hak Sung [9] are generalized and extended.

On the Complete Convergence ofWeighted Sums for Dependent Random Variables

We study the limiting behavior of weighted sums for negatively associated (NA) random variables. We extend results in Wu (1999) and a theorem in Chow and Lai (1973) for NA random variables.
